This isn't a question of capability (which is already there), but rather of mindset. Now that the other companies know that it's possible to sell a $1000 ARM computer that's not a phone or a toy, they'll be falling all over themselves to join in on the gold rush. Lots of absolute crap will ensue as they mindlessly bumble their way through shitty designs, and then in a few years we'll see the first decent non-apple ARM desktop and laptop computers. And by that time, Microsoft will have dusted off their ARM code, major Linux distros will be giving real love to their ARM packacing.

It took Apple more than 10 years to get a CPU that performs same or better as Intel's CPUs and can be put into a laptop or a desktop computer.

To produce a "decent non-apple ARM desktop and laptop computers" other companies need to have started developing such a CPU 5 years ago.
